PARKING & EMERGENCY BRAKES
The parking / emergency brakes on the LEKTRO 88/89 Series tractor are unique in that they
require power to be released. A loss of power or system leak removes hydraulic pressure and
applies the brakes. This system is intended as a “failsafe” to help ensure that the vehicle will not
move accidentally.
•
Manual operation:
During normal operations, the brakes are intentionally engaged by
pulling the Parking Brake Knob located on the Center Console (see
) up to the APPLIED position.
•
Automatic operation:
The brakes will engage automatically if one of the following
conditions exists:
> Electrical power is not available from the Motive Battery.
> Electrical failures occur which affect the drive circuits.
> Leakage or loss of pressure occurs in the hydraulic system.
> The red Main Power Disconnect Switch is in the OFF position.
